The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Hey guys, I did a little bit of research on the forum but could not find any high quality sentry gun pictures.

I was wondering if any of you might have some pics or schematics secreted away somewhere.

Maybe you would be willing to share them on here, or maybe point me to a website that has some.

I've looked at the extra material on the director's cut dvd but there isn't much clear information on there, maybe the new upcoming anthology will have some better stuff, if anyone on here can give me some intel on that perticular front that would also be much appreciated :)

Thanks in advance

Martin

I've never seen any prints or schematics, however, for my money, the screen grabs of guns "C" and "D" (facing opposite ends of a service tunnel) are great shots.

Agreed those are awesome shots thanks a lot for that :)

Looks like my assumption was right those ARE mg42 mods at least based on the gas vent and what part of the main housing we can see through the prop dressing.

Thank you very much Willie

It is MG42 based, the ammo drum is from an MG08/15, repros can be had for $150-200. I've got a few pics from when i built my sentry.

Also, in case you do not know, the battery in Mike's photo is a British field radio.

However, the exact model is unknown.

Forgot to mention, there's a thread over on the Sideshow Freaks board that has a ton of screen grabs and photos of the prop itself. There is (or was?) a group effort to get a 1:16th sentry gun as a resin kit, so it was all being collected there....for the past three years. :?
No sign of anything concrete yet.

I'm not sure it wil show without you being a member AND being allowed admittance to the specific area of the board.

Just registered, and it didn't let me in there :( :( :( How does one go about getting admittance? And why 1:16th, out of curiosity?

1/16th or 1/6th? The latter would make more sense since it would fit in with the Hot Toys Figures!
